Here is the link to the recording of a webinar through BC Bereavement. I share from the heart about my journey after my only child, Hayden died. What helped, what didn’t, the support I found and how I learned to walk with grief and love together. How I learned to grow bigger around my grief. May you find moments of hope, your courage and may the resources help you or someone you know on your journey.

Today, on the National Day of Mourning, we remember those whose lives were lost or forever changed due to a workplace injury or illness.

We hold in our thoughts every person who did not return home from work, and the families, coworkers, and communities who continue to live with that loss.

Grief does not end when the day is over. If today feels heavy, you are not alone.

We invite you to take a quiet moment, in whatever way feels right, to remember and honor those impacted.

Please know that support is available if you need it. The BC Bereavement Helpline offers compassionate listening and can connect you to appropriate support. Our helpline is open Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We can be reached at 604-738-9950 or 1-877-779-2223 (toll-free).
